The breeze and clouds responded yes, cleaned up, and everyone rode lightly and followed the prefect's carriage.

The prefect and his entourage really rushed to the county government and couldn't wait to start the interrogation.

Chen Xiuli didn't have to kneel because he was an official, but Hua Manxi and Wang Shishi were not so lucky, they both had to kneel on the ground, and both of them happened to be cold, and it was really uncomfortable to kneel on this cold ground.

After ascending to the hall and being mighty, Lord Na Qin patted the hall and said to Hua Manxi and Wang Shishi below: "Widow Wang sued the two of you for conspiring to murder her daughter-in-law Hua Sangsang, and you two can plead guilty!" ”

"Don't admit guilt, there is no such thing, the folk girl heard Hua Sangsang calling for help today, so she saved her, who would have thought that she would bite back and kill Miss Wang, I couldn't bear to see Miss Wang being killed by her, so I jumped into the water to save people in a hurry." Hua Manxi said with a glance.

"Nonsense! You clearly intended to murder, murder! The widow took out a piece of paper from somewhere, and handed it to the yacha, "Your lord, this is the creed that my daughter-in-law received in the morning, and she only went out after receiving it!" She must have written it! ”

Lord Qin took the note, and it really said that Hua Sangsang should go to the stream to make an appointment. He shook the note away and asked, "You wrote this note?" ”

Hua Manxi looked at it, the handwriting was really very similar to the original owner, and he thought it was Ding Xiucai's hands and feet.

"Lord Hui, we didn't write it." Wang Shishi and Hua Manxi both said in unison.

Lord Qin frowned, and set his eyes on Ding Shuqing's body, Ding Shuqing immediately understood, took a few steps forward, and whispered two words in his ear.

Lord Qin nodded frequently, patted the wood, and said coldly: "You two, come forward and copy this note, and the official will identify it!" ”

Wang Shishi and Hua Manxi naturally didn't dare to disobey, stepped forward to take the pen and paper, and copied the note received by Hua Sangsang.

If the original owner came to write it, the handwriting would be on a pair, and Hua Manxi's hat of deliberate murder would definitely be buttoned up.

When Hua Manxi picked up the pen to write, she happened to see that Ding Shuqing showed a hint of triumphant smile, and she also sneered in her heart, and wrote down that sentence.

The yacha handed over the note, and Lord Qin carefully compared the note, but found that the handwriting on it was not the same at all!

He looked at Ding Shuqing in astonishment, his eyes dark. Ding Shuqing stepped forward directly, grabbed the note from Hua Manxi and looked at it, but found that the handwriting was neat and beautiful, which was completely different from what she had written before!

"Hua Manxi, your words are not like this at all!" Ding Shuqing's face changed, his eyes stared at Hua Manxi fiercely, and he said coldly, and then turned to Lord Qin and said, "Lord Qin, she must have deliberately changed her handwriting, I had a marriage contract with her, and I am most familiar with her handwriting!" This is not the case at all! ”

"What does Ding Xiucai think my handwriting should be? Is there any evidence? I wrote this note in front of so many people, can this be changed? Could it be that Ding Xiu wanted me to recognize this note directly, is that the handwriting I should have? Hua Manxi sneered, his gaze was coldly on Ding Shuqing's face, and he said sarcastically.

What a fool, this Ding Shuqing, he almost didn't directly admit that this note was forged by him! That Lord Qin glanced at him rather dissatisfied, and he got down.

Ding Shuqing had already calculated that she used this note to frame Hua Manxi, but who would have thought that her handwriting would be completely different from what it used to be! The plan was suddenly disrupted, so he was a little out of shape in a hurry, and when he touched Lord Qin's dissatisfied gaze, his mind suddenly sobered up and stepped aside.

"Even if this note was not written by your own hand, it must have been written by someone you instructed, otherwise why would you appear by the stream at the same time as Hua Sangsang? The deceased accuses you before he was alive, and you can confess your guilt! Master Qin slapped the note on the table and asked in a cold voice.

"The adults thought that we were deliberately plotting to kill Hua Sangsang, so they wrote a note and asked her to meet alone by the stream, and then pushed her down?" Hua Manxi didn't panic at all, and asked slowly.

"Not bad!" Lord Qin nodded and affirmed.

"Lord Qin, there are still witnesses who saw me and Miss Wang pushing flowers and mulberry into the water?" Hua Manxi asked again.

"The crutch saw it!" Lord Qin pointed to Zhang Guizi under the hall and said solemnly.

"Then Lord Qin, can I ask this crutch a few words?" Hua Manxi said unhurriedly.

A trace of impatience flashed in Lord Qin's eyes, but when he beat the gong and drum, there were already a lot of onlookers outside, which was also what Ding Shuqing meant, the more people watched, the better, and he had to make a move that made Hua Manxi unable to turn over.

Due to the crowd of onlookers, Lord Qin had to pretend to be a good official, and said, "You ask." ”

Hua Manxi thanked him first, then turned to the crutch and asked, "Zhang Crutch, you said that you saw us pushing Hua Sangsang into the water, what was the situation like at that time?" ”

The crutch's face was stunned, but he reacted instantly, and said nonsense: "At that time, I heard someone shouting for help, so I hurriedly ran over to look, and just happened to see you and Miss Wang entangled with Hua Sangsang in the water." ”

"How to entangle?" Hua Manxi asked again.

The kidnapper's face was flustered for a moment, but he still forced himself to calm down and said, "You two press Hua Sangsang into the water!" ”

", you! Sangsang is also your sister! You hurt her like that! You brute! Slut! Slut! After hearing this, Wang Erniang howled for a while, "Poor Sangsang, my poor daughter! ”

"What else do you have to say?" Lord Qin patted the stunned wood and glanced at Hua Manxi with disdain.

"Naturally I have something to say, Zhang Guizi said, he only saw me and Miss Wang, and Hua Sangsang entangled in the water, but he didn't see me and Miss Wang push her into the water, since the adult said that I was planning to kill people, then if I made preparations with Wang Shishi and made an appointment with Hua Sangsang by the stream, then it would be easy for the two of us to push Hua Sangsang down, why would the two of us be in the water? The two of us, can't we push a flower Sangsang? Do we want to put ourselves in it? Isn't this cold day looking for death? Hua Manxi raised his voice and argued clearly.

As soon as these words came out, Lord Qin was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but Hua Manxi didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued, "Also, Lord Qin, you missed the most important point, this note is simply forged, not written by anyone to Hua Sangsang, because Hua Sangsang doesn't know a word." So I concluded that someone must have tried to murder Hua Sangsang, when Miss Wang and I passed by the stream, we heard Hua Sangsang calling for help, and the two of us went to save people, but it was too difficult to save people, and the two of us also fell in, which is a reasonable explanation. ”

After Hua Manxi finished speaking, there was a burst of noise and discussion outside the court, and they all felt that she was reasonable, a small village woman, since she was illiterate, who would write a note to her, it was obviously a false accusation!

Then Lord Qin couldn't imagine that there would be such a turn, and he originally wanted to drag the two of them into the water, but now that this note is not counted, it seems that it is impossible to connect the flowers and streams.

"Let's not mention this note for the time being, that Hua Sangsang was crushed to death by Wang Shishi, so many people are watching, you can't deny it!" Lord Qin slapped the stunned wood and said to Wang Shishi, "Wang Shishi, you can confess!" ”

"Wronged, my lord! I was pushed by her! If she hadn't pushed me, how would I have fallen? Wang Shishi shouted that she was wronged, pointed to the widow Wang and said, "She pushed me!" ”

"You talk nonsense! You are going to beat our family with so many guards, and you are the one who crushed my daughter-in-law to death! Widow Wang cried again, pointed at Wang Shishi and scolded, "It was you, the vicious woman, who killed my daughter-in-law!" You pay my daughter-in-law! ”

"Yes, compensate my daughter-in-law! Compensate my daughter-in-law! Wang Dazhuang also pointed at Wang Shishi and shouted loudly.

"Compensate my daughter, compensate my daughter-" Wang Erniang also stared at Wang Shishi fiercely, and her eyes couldn't wait to pounce on Wang Shishi to bite Wang Shishi to death.

"I didn't kill her, I just weigh so little, how could I crush her to death with a fall, she has been soaking in the water for so long, you don't even change her clothes, who are you pretending to be like this now?" Wang Shishi pointed to Widow Wang and Wang Dazhuang and said unconvinced.

"Do you admit it? So many people watched it with their own eyes, it was you who crushed her, don't you want to admit it? The widow jumped up and was about to go up to beat Wang Shishi, but fortunately the yacha stopped her.

"Silence, silence! Silence in the courtroom! Then Lord Qin patted the startled wood with a headache, and said loudly, "Wang Shishi, so many people have watched you crush Hua Sangsang to death, and you still don't admit your guilt!" Pull down and hit the top ten boards first! ”

Wang Shishi's face turned pale, and she set her eyes on Chen Xiuli as if asking for help.

"My lord, no!" Chen Xiuli took a step forward and looked at Lord Qin, "The cause of Hua Sangsang's death is unknown, how can he be convicted of a crime based on just a few words of gossip?" She said it right, Wang Shishi has a thin body, how can she crush a person to death? I also hope that the adults will be aware of this matter, so as not to damage the prestige of the adults. ”

"Does this official still want you to teach me a seven-pin county order to judge the case? When the official decided the case, you didn't know where to wear open crotch pants! Lord Qin said with a snort.

The officials below and the crowd of onlookers burst into laughter.

I thought that Chen Xiuli would be annoyed and angry, but the look on his face did not change at all, he raised his head and glanced at Lord Qin without humility or arrogance, covered the cold light in his eyes, and said slowly: "Lord Qin's official authority is terrifying, and the lower officials are afraid, since Lord Qin is so sure, then he shouldn't mind solving a few questions for the lower officials, right?" ”
